Burnell is the only guy with a darkhorse chance. Candice, Kree, Angela and Amber are the top 4. Curtis has the pipes but he needs leave the church. Josh Ledet took us to Church and he can't touch Josh. I think Burnell can win but he is stuck in his safe zone and I don't think he is going to venture far enough out of it to impress voters.

Everyone is hating on Nikki in this thread, but I honestly like her 100x better than Mariah.

Nikki says some stupid shit, but she also occasionaly gives a good critique and good advice.

Has Mariah actually said anything all season? Also, wtf does she keep looking at? Are these people so beneath her that she just refuses to look at them when she speaks? I get the feeling that she is really fond of herself.

There is a reason that the judges are going in the same order this year when giving their critiques. Most of the time Mariah has no clue what she's talking about, but when she does she usually mimics what another judge has already said. She's nice to look at but terrible at speaking

I know nothing about his music, but Keith seems like he'd be a cool guy to have a beer with. If his wife was with him...bonus.

I noticed last night, he was the only judge who walked out and was playing it up with the fans, shaking hands, giving fives, etc. Also noticed that when they were going from 20 to 10, and the contestants went down the line hugging the judges, he was the only one who stood up to greet the contestants and give them a real hug as opposed to making the contestant awkwardly lean over you for a half-ass hug.

He seems like a genuinely nice and courteous person. I wish his comments were more critical at times, but he's a hard person not to like.

Yeah, I may have a bit of a mancrush on him.

Also, am I the only one on here who finds Nikki strangely sexy? I'm not sure if I'm more uncomfortable with this fact or my mancrush on Keith.

I would have used the save on Curtis. He was much better than 3 of the other guys and he was great on some of his past performances. He picked the wrong song and it cost him. My guess is Randy didn't save him. I think the rest did.

I wouldn't have missed the albino boy or Jolly, who is really the one who should have gone. They got the top 3 right and Laz is definitely getting some sympathy vote, but I don't care. I want to keep hearing him. I think when his nerves settle, he's going to be more fun to watch.

I can't stand NM and I don't know how anyone can tolerate her voice much less what she says. Mariah says so little that she's a non entity. Keith is a good judge. Randy is Randy.

Px2 looks like he aged over the past year and he needed some powder on his shiny face. He looked sickly to me. I still love his voice, but I wasn't crazy about the song. I can't believe Home sold that much. Awful song. Hear on TV all the time, though. Surprises me.

Oh, and did it surprise you that Charlie was the guy they picked for the sing off. He may have been #6 in the votes, but they would have picked him anyway since they're all afraid he'll off himself and they want to undo any possible damage that could do to the show. I liked his song. Should have sang that way last week and he would have made the top 5 over Devin or Jolly.
